Hello Everyone! I am a new member here and I just want to ask some questions about the dual-boot of Ubuntu and Windows XP.

I have a laptop with one hard disk partitioned. I have two windows Xp installed, one is Home and the other is Professional.
I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on another partition on the same hard disk, using the ext3 file system.

Now, my computer needs first to load Grub to access the OS boot menu and I hate the way it is organized,the Ubuntu comes first on the list, and my two Windows Xp operating systems were placed in the Vista bootloader option, eventhough they are Windows Xp and not Vista.

Is there a program for Ubuntu 9.04 or Windows XP that can edit and organize the boot menu?

Can I boot the windows boot loader first without loading the Grub Boot Loader?
